oogle really has an amazing service going with their Google Books. The only thing i'd strongly suggest to them is that they should spend more money to get more competent scans. I have noticed many fingers and even whole hands on scans of some book pages. It happens frequently too, not just once in a long while. I downloaded a bunch of books and about half of them have fingers or hands on at least a few pages. I really think this is a great service, but before they proclaim that all their scans are finished, they should really take a look at their quality control first. They have the cash, and workers who feel underpaid aren't motivated to do a careful job for a very rich company.
Again, this is an amazing service that Google is making available, so I don't mean to slam it for no reason, but they should really cover all aspects of it. The AJAX tool that runs it is great, the PDF downloads are very appreciated, but these scans of appendages are the fly in the ointment.
